Bridge Nine Bridge Nine: Hardcore
#B9R060

Release Date: 11/01/2005 (CD) & 3/15/22 (LP)

BRIDGE NINE: Hardcore was a 21-song "greatest hits" collection featuring bands active on the label through the summer of 2005.  A crash course in a more recent chunk of the label’s history (at the time), this CD was a low-cost sampler available exclusively at Hot Topic stores and sold on the counter for $4.99.  A great introduction to a whole new generation of kids.  The disc featured cover art by celebrated NYHC illustrator Sean Taggart.   It was given catalog #B9R060 shortly after the No Warning Suffer Survive LP was scrapped (after the test pressings had been received reflecting B9R:60 on the record's matrix).

Originally released only on CD in 2005, this compilation was pressed as a limited edition LP in 2022 as part of the “Raid The Archive” Mystery Box. The test pressings feature Sean Taggart’s rough sketch for the cover concept, screen-printed onto white LP jackets.
